Thu, 27 Jul 2017 18:14:28 GMTI have a very old Irwin drive pulled from a Compaq Deskpro 286 a long time ago. Alas, didn't take notes at the time

I can see "Irwin 110 tm" on the side, and I found a .pdf brochure online that says it has a floppy interface, and can handle 10Mb, 20Mb, and 40Mb tapes. The brochure specifies the Western Digital 17xx, NEC 765, "and other popular mini floppy controllers." Another online source specifies an ST506 interface.

If I uploaded them in the correct order, the first shot is the model & serial number, and the second shot gives a good view of the connectors. It could be just me, but those sure look like MFM connectors.

Does this drive ring a bell for anyone, or do they have any more info? What tapes does it take, and what interface is this? If I can get it plugged back in & working, the TAPE command in Compaq's MS-DOS 3.31 wiill work with it.
